Leonids meteor shower: Can I still watch the shooting stars tonight – where is best place?

When this arrives some people should see more than 1,000 shooting stars storming the skies every hour.

Researchers have even predicted how observers in 2034 may even stand a chance of witnessing 2,000 meteors per hour, in an extreme event dubbed a ‘Leonid storm’.

The meteoroids responsible for the Leonid meteor shower all move on a parallel path and at the same speed.

They, therefore, appear to originate from a single point in the sky, known as the radiant.

The Leonid meteor shower gets its name from said radiant, the point at which the meteors appear to emerge from in the constellation Leo.
